What's the significance of watermelon seeds?

    Watermelon has been used as a plausibly deniable way to show support for Palestine since 1967 per Wikipedia, since it shares the same colors as the flag while being a completely common and innocuous item.

    Go Esther. The people who asked you to remove that flag don't want to be reminded that they are standing by while a genocide is underway.
